They also posted a 25-22 win in the second game but Perham rallied with victories in the third and fourth games to force a fifth set.

“In that fifth game we communicated better,” said BHS coach Teresa Colligan. “And in the fifth game we dominated.”

The Jacks claimed the decisive set 15-7 and the game capped a five-set victory in the season opener.

“It was a good effort and everybody contributed,” Colligan said.

“Perham is a good team and in the third and fourth games they attacked us aggressively and defensively we played a bit more tentatively. But I give the girls credit for coming back in the fifth game and taking control.”
